Waterco Glass Pearls Filter Media is a new generation of filter media. Grade 1 Glass Pearls have a small yet highly effective size of just 0.6 to 0.8mm - allowing an in-depth filtration and extending operating cycles between backwashing. Laboratory testing has proven Glass Pearls have the ability to filter down to below 3 microns.

Waterco Glass Pearls are Climate Care Certified Products - the benchmark in environmental sustainability for swimming pools and spas. By choosing Glass Pearls Filter Media you can rest assured your choice is both environmentally friendly and highly efficient.

Features:

  • Safe and Smooth - Glass Pearls are spherical and have no sharp edges, making them safe to handle and to service.
  • High Purity - Made from 100% virgin glass and chemically inert, independently tested to ensure their safety.
  • Save Water - Glass Pearls' spherical shape results in a low coefficient of friction, reducing backwashing requirements (using 20% less water than filter sand).
  • Time Saving - Glass Pearls are easy to install and enable a rapid start up of the filter media. Very little cleansing via backwashing required prior to commissioning the filter.
